Christo

Christo and Jeanne-Claude, American artists, both born June 13, 1935. Christo was born Bulgarian and Jeanne-Claude French. Both live and work in New York. «We live these projects during several months or years; they are a part of our life. For us they are like a discovery trip to New Guinea or Africa.» Christo and Jeanne-Claude's projects challenge our everyday perception with temporary, unrepeatable works of art. Thus, the artists are "producers of memories". The preparatory drawing and collages are created by Christo before the completion of the project.
